Friday Fancies

Friday, 19 July 2013

It's Friday! And I've got the day off! (and Monday too). I think I might do some sewing. (Now there's a surprise!).But first I thought I'd share some of my favourite things with you, in a Friday Fancies post. I did several of these when I first started blogging, but haven't done one for ages. So, here we go.Firstly, my new shoes.

Aren't they gorgeous? I spotted them in a half price sale the other day and just had to have them. I've got nothing to wear with them, I suppose I'll just have to make something!

This skirt caught my eye on Pinterest earlier in the week. I've no idea where it's from, but I'm going to have to try and recreate this pleated look I think.

This is a great idea for adding interest to a plain cardigan front. I'm going to have to give this one a go as well.

A very pretty illustration. Found on Pinterest with no link, so I can't tell you any more about it than that I love it. I have a whole Pinterest board of Fashion Illustration. One day when I've got some free time in which I'm not sewing or knitting, I'm going to get my pencils out and have a go myself.

And lastly, because it's Friday, chocolate cake. This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember, my mum used to make it for all our birthdays. It's so easy and so delicious.

Loving the shoes - I just bought a bright red pair I don't need but they were £19.99 reduced from £70 - would be rude not to! And they're lovely, make me smile just to wear them. I think yours would go with anything and look fab :)
